WHO Update - #VaccinEquity

#VaccinEquity for Health Workers

WHO is working with partners around the world to ensure that vaccination of health workers and those at high risk of COVID-19 begins in all countries within the first 100 days of 2021. 

 

We are now over halfway through the first 100 days and your help is needed to keep spreading the word. 

 

WHO are calling on all stakeholders, to use their collective voice, to ensure that by the time World Health Day arrives on 7 April, COVID-19 vaccines are being administered in every country, as a symbol of hope for overcoming both the pandemic and the systemic inequities that lie at the root of so many global health challenges. 

 

Vaccines are now being distributed in more than 85 countries, with health workers in those places rightly among the first groups to receive them. However, in most low- and middle-income countries, vaccination has not even started, which is a catastrophe as hospitals fill up.

 

To convince leaders globally to act, WHO need as many people as possible to publicly declare their support for #VaccinEquity.

 

ISQua has signed the WHO Vaccine Equity Declaration, join us and lend your support to vaccine equity, one of the biggest moral tests of our time.
